12 Days of Christmas / Halloween in July - Day 11

Hello Friends! Welcome back to the 12 Days of Christmas / Halloween in July - Day 11. Sorry for the break in our regularly scheduled programming, but I was so inspired by this gorgeous card here that I had to create one of my very own. My friend, Wanda, is so talented and when I saw her card I was completely taken with it. I knew instantly which new set I wanted to ink up. These darling angels from the Cling Angel Kisses Set have the sweetest faces and I love their vintage look. I also kept it Krafty, by playing along with the That's Krafty Thursday Challenge. The Kraft carstock base allowed me to really show off the pretty lavender and red color combo. I also got to play with 2 of my favorite accessories - Glitter & Fun Flock. I really hope you have enjoyed this series as we wrap it up tomorrow with Day 12. Please be sure to join me tomorrow for Day 12 and the Blog Candy Giveaway!


Here's a little up close shot, so you can see all the Stampendous Flock & Glitter Goodness! Just double click on the photo for more detail :)

iCopic DT Call - I heart Pink!

Hi Friends! Here to share with you my creation for the iCopic DT Call. The DT Call Challenge is to create one project using the color Pink! I had promised a cupcake creation, so I thought it was only perfect to create a Jumbo Pink Cupcake for the challenge. The perfect stamp was of course the Cling Cupcake XL by Stampendous. I used R81, R83 and R85 to color the cupcake. I took my time and colored the image in sections to keep the coloring and blending consistent. I paired up the cupcake with one of my all time favorite pattern papers from MME as the cupcake liner. Those polka dots are too cute to resist. I added the fun Happy Birthday sentiment using the Bday Messages set from Stampendous. Topped it all off with lots of sugar using 2 different multi crystal glitters from Stampendous. I also added some Kraft paper too to play along with my sweet friend, Jeanie's, 50th TKT Challenge. Wow! I hope you all love this sweet Pink Cupcake!

I am super excited for a chance to be part of iCopic DT. They offer a wonderful line of products and great customer service. Be sure to stop by and visit them here. You also will be happy to know they also have a great blog too with lots of fun challenges for all us Copic lovers. Coloring with Copics is so fun and I love, love, love them!♥♥♥

Hope you enjoy the card and thanks so much for stopping by today! Hugs!

TESC112 - Happy Birthday!

Happy Friday! Are you ready for this week's Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge? Well here it is! For TESC112 I pulled out one of my favorite TE sets called Sweet Celebration. So many cute Cuppie images. Are you a Cuppie fan? Did you know that today is Release Day at Taylored Expressions? Well hold onto your hats! Cuppie is back with in an adorable Cuppie in the kitchen set. How perfect is that? I can't wait for 8am, so I can get my order in. Woo Hoo! Well Cuppie decided to celebrate a birthday this week, so I created a birthday card for my birthday card stash. I colored the image with Copic Markers and sponged the edges with distress inks. I paper pierced around the circle and popped up the image with foam tape. I used my fav My Mind's Eye - Quite Contrary papers for the background strips. I stamped polka dots on the Kraft background with Versamark ink. Birthday's are fun, so why not make a fun card. You ready for more fun? Well why not make a Kraft card for the That's Krafty Thursday Challenge too! Double the fun in one card!

That's Krafty Thursday!!!

Hi Friends! I can't tell you how excited I am to play along with my sweet friend Jeanie's, That's Krafty Thursday Challenge. She has been doing this challenge herself for awhile now and I always look forward to seeing her TKT creations each week. Well this time we are all invited to play along! Woo Hoo! Isn't that wonderful? To play along you just have to use Kraft paper somewhere on your card! So easy because Kraft paper is fabulous!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Kraft paper! I hope you can all play along and show Jeanie some love by supporting her challenge. I had a blast creating this card. I can't wait to see all your Krafty creations!

For my card I used that adorable MB Bear Girl stamp by A Muse. Isn't she sweet? I also can't tear myself away from the Farm Fresh patterned paper by October Afternoon. So cute!!! It's a miracle I haven't been hoarding more of it. LOL! The Happy Birthday sentiment is also by A Muse. Just a nice little 4-1/4" square birthday card to give to my sweet friend. Hope you all have a fantastic day and I will see you tomorrow for the Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge.
